650g 26 Colours Oven Bake Polymer Clay Block Modelling Moulding Sculpey Tool set

I did intend to buy Fimo so that my 8 yr old granddaughter would have something to help occupy herself during the Easter holidays, then I spotted this. There is a lot more clay here for your money (each block is about the same weight as a block of Fimo) many more colours are included, plus it comes with tools. The tools are surprisingly good for cutting and making interesting surface details. The dough isn’t sticky, but seems quite stiff at first. Once worked with the hands however, it does become very pliable and a pleasure to work with. I experienced no colour transfer. Lots of inspiration to be found on YouTube and I baked the resulting models for 20mins at 120 on grease proof baking paper ( no strange smells whilst in the oven). It’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from me!

I have a 5 and 7 year old and I bought them this for xmas. Now, in January, we have used most of this. It has been non stop, badges (with safety pins in the back), keyrings, jewellery and other random models. We used it for homework to make a sword in the stone and my daughter has been making mini burgers on request from her friends at school. My son has built a model house and initials of his name- the list goes on. It is easily pliable with a little body heat. Cooks in around half an our and is hot for a little while after. It doesn't go off or hard easily, even when badly wrapped. It doesn't crumble or anything- for these reasons it is already preferable to playdough! It has so many colours. Although the skin colour, bread colour and white ran out pretty quick. Plenty of pink and green left now. I'm not overly keen on the smell of it when it's cooking but apart from that, it's pretty faultless and great fun. I even find myself joining in. I think it would be a great gift for children of all ages and can be made into so many things.

I initially bought this as a cheap way of dipping my toe into the world of polymer clay as I'd never played with the stuff before. I've now bought five lots so far! The blocks aren't huge given you get 26 colours, and some of the colours are a bit naff (useful as filler, though), but there's a usable quantity for a beginner or child. I've only made relatively simple beads, so far, but I've found it fun enough to start getting various tools and 'proper' clay (Fimo and Cernit). I also discovered that several of the the brighter colours fluoresce quite spectacularly under U.V., so, if like me, you desire adornments well suited to the rave environment, this could be worth a go ;-) The colours do vary somewhat from batch to batch, though, so if you want an exact colour match you may be disappointed. I've not had a problem with any of the clay being hard and dry, as some people have; if anything I've had exactly the opposite issue. First batch wasn't too bad but all the subsequent ones have been decidedly sticky. This is easily remedied however. Just roll the clay out thin and place it between two sheets of paper (I've been recycling envelopes and such-like but beware that some inks will get drawn into the clay, probably inkjet printed) and place under something like a heavy book. This will leach out the excess plasticiser. Check regularly so it doesn't get over-leached. If that /does/ happen all is still not lost. Clay that has ended up dry and crumbly (either as it arrived or due to over-leaching) can still be recovered. I've had good results using tiny amounts of petroleum jelly but light mineral oil or even baby oil can be used - just start with a drop or so and work it into the clay; add more if needed and keep working until you have something malleable again. Warming the clay, with your hands or even sitting on it for a few minutes first, helps (not unwrapped, obviously!). I should also point out that, while it is perfectly fine to mix different brands of polymer clay, if you mix this stuff with Fimo, even after it has been leached, you end up with something /really/ too soft and it then has to be leached all over again. Not tried mixing it with the Cernit clay but I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens there. Another minor issue is the packaging of the clay blocks; the plastic wrapping is about as small as it can be and the sticky tape used is, well... sticky. I replaced it with magic tape straight away. As I had several batches I decided to amalgamate them and wrap the new larger blocks in cling film. This started to go rather softer and stretchier after a while so I re-wrapped using some cheap plastic wallets I had, cut up and sealed with magic tape, then put each block in its own resealable baggie. So, overall verdict: cheap and cheerful but pretty good value if you don't mind a little potential effort making the clay useable. I'll happily buy more at some point just for the fluorescent colours. The tools included are a bit naff, though.

NB: nobody subsidised my purchase, I actually paid my own money at full price for this product so you can actually believe this review! I haven't used materials like this for a long time, so I'm not an affciando. I just needed something to make some figures for my son's board game homework. This set was just the job and I was impressed to discover that it also had useful modelling tools. If you have ever used sugar paste, you will be able to use the same tools and pretty similar techniques in my experience. We all enjoyed using it and baking was fairly simple - i used the lowest setting of my oven and 25 minutes. I think that the items soften before they harden in the oven so it was no surprise that a couple of rather unstable ones did fall over and lose a few bits. However, firstly I think that was our design and not the materials and secondly, it was easy to remedy by sticking more material on and re-baking – job done and sorted. We will enjoy this kit so much that I have bought another one. I did think about replacing the single colours, but firstly I could not find them and secondly I suspect it will be more expensive and therefore more economical to just have two sets. Very happy customer -will doubtless buy again.

Bought this set for when my granddaughters came to stay. They love modelling with PolymerClay and I was worried this clay may not be as mouldable as other well known brands or that the colour would stain little hands. A big thumbs up, this clay was much easier to use than other more expensive brands according to the children, there was no need to warm up in hands before modelling could begin. Colours did not stain hands or table! There are a lot of different colours but the ones they liked to use often soon ran out. The bonus was the set of tools that came with the set. Mothers and granny were soon getting creative and the clay baked well in the oven. Can't comment on whether the clay will harden over time as it is still new but we are wrapping in cling film and keeping in an airtight container. Good value for money

I contacted sellers 3 times asking for basic instructions on use. No response. So wouldnt buy again from this source. Product is okay but if you don't know how to use it!

My seven year old granddaughter has played with nothing else since I bought these polymer clays: they are easy to mould, come in bright colours and you get a decent quantity in the pack, along with some plastic shaping tools. I put them on a metal tray in a pre-heated oven at 120 degree's centigrade for 20 minutes and they come out well. Once opened the packs of clay need to be kept airtight, I keep the whole lot in a ziplock plastic bag and haven't had any problem with the clay going hard or becoming unworkable. I'm pleased with the play value in them and the imaginative and creative activity they encourage. 5 stars.

Great product for arts and crafts. I personally used polymer clay to craete figurines. These clay have great colour. It does not change colour when you bake them and hold their shape. Thwy are durable after baking. It is great that it comes with mulptiple colours. The only downside is that the main colours like white and black have the same amount as the other colours, meaning you have to buy extra if your making some crafts using a lot of it. It could have been better if the base colour of white and black is a bit larger than the other colours. But overall, good quality ploymer clay.

Bon produit, j'en suis très contente.

Die Überschrift sagt's, die Kinder fanden es Spitze. Ich hätte mir das gebrannte/getrocknete Ergebnis noch ein wenig fester vorgestellt, aber es erfüllt voll seinen Zweck und wenn man schöne kleine Teile formt (Anhänger, Männlein e.t.c., dann kommt man mit dem Inhalt auch ein Stück.

Compré este kit de arcilla polimérica de H&S y la verdad es que me ha gustado mucho. Viene con bastante variedad de colores (26 en total), lo cual está genial para hacer diferentes figuras sin tener que mezclar demasiado. Además, incluye algunas herramientas básicas que vienen muy bien para empezar o para pequeños detalles. Las barras son un poco finas, eso sí, se gastan relativamente rápido si haces piezas grandes, pero para manualidades, figuras pequeñas o para principiantes es más que suficiente. La textura es buena, se trabaja fácilmente y después de hornear queda bastante resistente. En general, me parece un kit muy completo por el precio que tiene. Muy recomendable 👍

Bon produit. Facile à utiliser. Je recommande.

Inhalt zwar ohne Schaden, aber alles durcheinandergepurzelt. Produktverpackung nicht ausreichend zum Schutz der Artikel. Sonst ist der Eindruck erwartungsgemäß.
